A friend of mine is considering buying a $50 Players brand sneaky pete. I told him I wasn't sure it was such a good idea since there may be a good reason that Players cues are so cheap. I've never shot with one though, so I'm wondering what everyone's opinion is on the brand, and if they're...

I'd be very interested.

Does Efren sing?

Anyone else ever lag for cash? I do it all the time (when I'm not playing bumper pool). It's a great way to make some extra change to cover drinks! :)

Do you often run multiple racks of 9-ball in a row? If not, go play the tourney.

It's true that getting a house-pro to shape it is better, but it also costs money, so I guess it just depends on how much he's willing to spend. Sounds like your tip is good quality, what hardness is it? Maybe I should give Sniper a try next time I need to get my tip replaced.

I will match up with you in bumper-pool.

umm... no. All leather tips flatten and mushroom. The softer the tip, the faster this happens. Eventually you will probably need to use a shaper on them, unless you intend to just replace the tip when this happens.

That's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. :rolleyes: Splitting hairs over the wording doesn't change the fact that Europe didn't get the cup, and sounds an awful lot like sour grapes. Better luck next year.

USA wins it!!!!! Amazing! I only wish I had been able to watch it live (and that they had included bumper pool in the competition)...

Travis Trotter is a comic genius. Anyone for some bumper pool???

So, from reading this, it looks like indeed gambling on pool games is illegal in any situation. :( Are there any lawyers out there who can tell me if I'm reading this right?

Does anyone know the law regarding gambling on pool in Texas? I was under the impression that because pool is a skill game, it is legal to play for money as long as only the participants in the game are the ones betting. However, the other day a police officer told me that playing pool for...

I feel the same way, and I know a few things about banking from my background in bumper pool.

Forget your name... Sounds like mumbo-jumbo, I know, but I dare you to try it while shooting! It's unbelievable...
